Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning the validity of appointments of Assistant Public Prosecutors made by the Gujarat Public Service Commission, which introduced a minimum qualifying mark for the viva voce shortly before the tests. The Court held that this action was illegal and constituted legal malafide, leading to the quashing of the select list and appointments. The Court directed a fresh selection process to be initiated, emphasizing adherence to statutory rules governing appointments.
